WIPs

In a desperate attempt to expand my eldar army I painted couple of table top wave serpents to house my Dire avengers and howling banshees. Here are some pictures from a recent megabattle of the forces of Order against, you might've guess - the forces of Chaos where my Eldars attempted to hold a ruined city.
Facing the Great Unclean One. Looked scary but this poor dear got killed about 3 minutes later. The lower wave serpent is old, the upper one is new.

This is Forge World Games Day 2011 model painted with metallic paints. I am reasonably proficient (I so I thought) in painting rusty bashed up metal but I never tried to paint new and unspoiled one. So after getting a suitable model and reading Automaton's tutorial on painting metal I produced this one

My attempts to make good pictures of this mini never really worked, you can the result in my gallery. So, here is pictures taken by GW, which a much better than mine.

Another year have passed and Scott completed another immence secret project - Da Suppa Mega Bomma. Here is the full view sans the forwardward gun and a close up on a cockpit. People visitin Games Day will be able to see this monster in all its glory at the 40K conversion competition. Unfortunately, it cannot fly

This is the final update on Scott's creation. Whoever attends the Games day will have a chance to meet this (and Scott) face to face. In the final push over the last two weeks Scott removed all FW elements from the boat to avoid pottential rule conflicts added crew (well, just the kaptin and his pet for now). THe Ship awaits its name! Any suggestions?

Over the last year I have being seeing this orkish creation being build almost every Saturday.. Finally, Scott Brandt, who single-handedly designed and build this juggernaut incarnate, allowed me to take some pictures. The land ship is propelled by twin-baneblade chassis and contain parts from several stompas. Masts and sails are reinforced by metal rods and could be removed for transportation. Boarding "axe" and forward megacannon are not attached yet. There will be about a dozen upper-deck cannons
